“I was so comfortable with. Had a fabulous day. ”
My first GoWithGuide, my first solo trip and my first trip to Japan. How fortunate I was to select Carol as my guide. She not only showed me the sights I was most interested in in but taught me how to use and navigate the Tokyo transportation system for the next day on my own which worked out perfectly. We also had a memorable stand out lunch. It was a great introduction to Japan. Carol also took photos of me enjoying the sights that she promptly shared with me for my Facebook post.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo
Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.
